Raleigh City Farm (800 N Blount St.)

We are so excited to be able to use Carolina Farmhouse Dairy milk for this class! Check them out for a source of milk made from their farm’s friendly herd of Jersey cows grazed on a variety of grasses year-round and supplemented with organic, locally-milled feed.

This workshop is hosted outdoors on site at the lovely Raleigh City Farm in downtown Raleigh (800 N Blount St.).

Join us for the next workshop of our spring Know Your Roots gardening series at Raleigh City Farm — Raised Bed + Soil Building 101 Workshop!

We’ll show you how to do both and send you home with plans and a handout to get you started!

Information will cover:
-How to construct a simple raised bed design using wood and galvanized metal. We’ll practice on site and send you home with plans.
-How to create soil easily and inexpensively for any garden bed using the lasagna gardening method of soil creation. We’ll give you a handout to take home.

Join us at the Fair Game Beverage Plant in lovely Pittsboro, NC for a very special one-off Easter Brunch with the highly anticipated local seafood restaurant Postal Fish Co. We will be crafting unique wild cocktails with Fair Game Beverage spirits to pair with the meal highlighting spring flavors by Postal Fish Co.
We’ll gather together at the Plant for an afternoon outdoors with cocktails, foraging, fresh local seafood and a celebration of the Spring season. Proceeds from the brunch will benefit Abundance NC’s work promoting local food and sustainability right here in Chatham County.
We will begin at noon with a cocktail hour that includes a short foraging walk and discussion, where you will help gather fresh wild greens and flowers for the salad. The meal begins at 1pm, family style, with Chefs James Clark and Bill Hartley preparing an incredible feast that portends downtown Pittsboro’s first sustainable seafood restaurant opening later in 2017, with desserts prepared by pastry chef Marcey Clark.
Fair Game Beverage and Piedmont Picnic Project will collaborate on three seasonally inspired cocktails featuring the wine and spirits crafted right next door.
